The Oilers are making a change after seeing Taylor Hall get injured in warm-up Tuesday in Columbus.  From now on, all the players will wear helmets during warm-up.

Defenceman Theo Peckham says, "Seeing something like that with Taylor makes you reconsider.  We're putting in place that everybody is going to be wearing helmets now in warm-up."

Hall lost his balance and slid into the corner.  Corey Potter tried to jump over Hall, but his skate came down on Hall's face.  Hall was not wearing a helmet.  He needed 30 stitches to close the wound.  Head coach Tom Renney says Hall is doubtful for Thursday's game in St. Louis.  (jrw)
